Usually, the intended audience is almost always women. A lot of men don't play these games as it does not appeal to them. Either way, I don't think itchio cares as they do not want to be blacklisted from the credit card companies. Collective Shout (the company) doesn't care about women or children at all. So I agree it's puzzling. Their intention is to control, not to protect women.
OMG I didn't see this! Yes, I know that there are adult games like those that appeal to men. I was just saying that most of them on itchio tend to appeal to women as we like the community on here. I also don't support real life crime; there is a very large distinction between fantasy and real life. Banning these games does nothing. Women and children suffer and nothing of substance is done to protect them!!
